a well written novel with a sad yet ultimately redeeming theme. Taking place at the turn of the 20th century, it captures the life of a solo fruit farmer, two desperate girls, and a few other key figures. Issues of fate, loss, connection and choices. It raises good questions for our book group discussion!
